Look, I'm not going to argue. People are incredibly emotional about this and it's exhausting. What I'm expressing are not "my ideals." I don't give a fuck about stupid sex work. Like, at all. But a lot of people are taking a very adult oriented view on this and not thinking about the kids' rights to have a safe relationships with adults that are not complicated by sex. Go ahead and down vote and say what you will, my stance is not radical or strange. Being a teacher doesn't mean you need to live a chaste life, but the kids come first and if something you do outside of school directly affects your students, you should probably consider a different career. That's why teaching requires a license, there are ethical standards that need to be followed. It's definitely not for everyone and that's why no one is forcing anyone to be a teacher.

Also, the teacher from the article agrees she cannot do both at once, probably because she understands it's not an appropriate situation. You all are furious with me, but I'm not really sure who you think you're arguing for.
